Thanks very much for the quite reasonable response at template talk:Infobox Country. My comment about your "unilateral revert" was meant only to point out that any revert should be discussed, and I'm sorry if this comment increased the heat around these changes. -- Rick Block (talk) 23:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I've spent some time looking at your contribution history. Would you be interested in being an admin? I don't exactly know you, but I'd be happy to nominate you. Just let me know. -- Rick Block (talk) 01:25, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

OK. Fill in the blanks at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Physicq210, including a formal acceptance, and transclude it into WP:RFA. If you'd rather wait a bit, that's fine too. Your choice. -- Rick Block (talk) 02:29, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Lyrics in Song Pages

In a page such as Papercut by Linkin Park is it a wise idea to add lyrics? I've noticed some other song pages have them. btg2290 04:16, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

No, it's a copyright violation and they generally should be removed. (sorry to butt in). Sarah Ewart (Talk) 04:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations

You're now an admin, so have fun using the new tools to help make the project better. Do the best you can to take into account the spirit of the comments in your RfA to the extent that they can help you be a better editor and a greater asset to the project. Let the rest go. As you get the hang of the new tools use them to help clear out the backlogs, but still use them conservatively, especially the punitive ones like blocking, and especially at first. Polite warnings and de-escalating the situation can go a long way instead of antagonizing. Re-read the policies as necessary before acting. Other than that have fun, and again, congrats. - Taxman ^Talk 03:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Congrats! ... and you're quite welcome. If you ever need any advice or guidance please let me know. I've been around a good long time, so have some degree of experience. As an admin, I'd recommend you try first to do no harm. I don't know that anyone would recognize what an achievement this is (like on a college application), but it might make for an interesting essay. I'm sure I'll see you around here and there. -- Rick Block (talk) 04:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Without wanting to sound like a me-tooer, congrats from me too. Rarely found it so easy to decide which way to "vote" in an Rfa. Good luck. --Dweller 07:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

User:Odyssey19

This user has been leaving a mess of the Nevada State Route articles, removing the prose and doing other such stuff. Could you be alert for that and edit when necessary? The problem is that he/she has made hundreds of contributions that all have to be reviewed and I don't have the time to do that... uggh. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 21:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Clear up the confusion

Hi Physicq210, I think I didn't express myself clearly enough on the Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism page:

• User:Neoconned - SourceWatch - this blocked impersonator's userpage is a repeat target for sockpuppets trying to recreate it, eg. [1] So would it be possible to protect it, please? I can't see any reason for legitimate contributors to edit it now.--Neoconned 03:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Did you just call me a sockpuppet? I put the template on it because the account was indefblocked. --²¹⁰physicq (c) 03:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
    • But I have protected it now. --²¹⁰physicq (c) 03:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Just to be clear, I emphatically wasn't calling you a sockpuppet. I was referring to those individuals who have been replacing the indefblocked template on that page with a spoof impersonator userpage. Which you have fixed by restoring the indefblocked template and protecting the page. Thanks! --Neoconned 13:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support!

Se la face ay pale, la cause est... Se la face ay pale, la cause est... 23:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

If I'm a bit pale in the face now, it's because of the amazing support during my recent request for adminship and because of all those new shiny buttons. And if in the future my use of them should not always be perfect please don't hesitate to shout at me any time, sunset, noon or sunrise.

RfA thanks

Thank you for the extra feathers on my wings! Thank you so much, Physicq210, for your support in my RfA, which passed on November 11, 2006, with a final tally of 82/0/2. I am humbled by the kind support of so many fellow Wikipedians, and I vow to continue to work and improve with the help of these new tools. Should you have any request, do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Húsönd 20:25, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Lawrence Kelemen undeleted

You deleted it based on A7, but it squarely asserted that he wrote several books, two of which were named. That takes him out of A7, of course. He is, in fact, a notable rabbi. I have improved the article. Cheers. - crz crztalk 13:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your input

Thank you for taking part in my RfA. The RfA was not successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.

In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.

A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").

Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 13:52, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Article Deletion?

On Nov 10, around 1600, I was creating an article which described a set of comedy performances on a DVD, Bob and Tom Radio: The Comedy Tour. Later in the evening, after I found the DVD container, I was ready to create the remainder of the article, but I could not find the article and I had received no messages with regard to its demise.

Another user helped me find this:

19:16, 10 November 2006 Physicq210 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Bob and Tom Radio: The Comedy Tour" (CSD A1)

I understand the CSD, but I was under the impression that this normally had some warning period or at least some evidence so that I could have found what happened.

Of course, I can re-create the article, but I just wanted to understand so that I might make corrective action for the future.

Please copy me on my Talk page with any response.

Thanks!

Lmcelhiney 00:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I really appreciate your returning the article for my revisions. I have a better, though not yet complete (is ANY ever complete?) article in place (with citations).

Thanks again!

Shiny new buttons

Two weeks ago I couldn't even spell administratur and now I are one (in no small part thanks to your support). Now that I checked out those new buttons I realize that I can unleash mutant monsters on unsuspecting articles or summon batteries of laser guns in their defense. The move button has now acquired special powers, and there's even a feature to roll back time. With such awesome new powers at my fingertips I will try to tread lightly to avoid causing irreversible damage and getting into any wheel wars.

San Francisco length

Even completely disregarding kb of the page, I find it hard to regard its currentl length as necessity when the NYC article, which is for an older city that is the 12th largest in the world, is so much shorter and more readable. I don't think there's any debating that the lengthy history section does not belong on the SF page in anything resembling its entirety. Hence, I place tag.--Loodog 04:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
